Listen Hear Salon Concerts is an interactive exhibition for music. Each program examines a specific way we hear expression and meaning. Imagine walking into a musician’s living room and witnessing music being written, or artists gathering to explore chamber music…all with food and drink!
American pianist Marisa Gupta will present the world premiere of “12 Preludes for Solo Piano” by the Catalonian composer Marc Migó. Max Tan will host a conversation with Migó and Gupta about the process of composing new works and the relationships between composers and performers. The program will end with Stravinsky's Divertimento, performed by Marisa Gupta with Soundbox Artistic Director Max Tan. This program is sponsored, in part, by the Iberian Foundation of the City University of New York Graduate Center for Music.
Curated by Max Tan, each salon-style event includes a Classical music program, insights from the artists, and conversation. The social atmosphere of these events redefines our modern concert culture. Inspired by Alex Ross’ book Listen to This, Soundbox events “approach music not as a self-sufficient sphere but as a way of knowing the world.”
